HOLIKA HOLIKA HEART CRUSH LIPSTICK MELTING || #PK05 GIRL POWER

donderdag 2 mei 2019


May is here, I can't believe how fast it's going. Makes me very wary of time even though I still have a lot! We're almost halfway in 2019 and I remember telling myself that I really want to grow my blog and my reach. Last week I made the decision to be active on Instagram and grow my blog through there. It's such an amazing way to show everyone what I like or don't like and the response I'm getting back is again amazing. I can't believe everyone is so nice! Not that I live in a bitter world, but everyone is so caring and genuinely looking at your content and interacting with it. I love it, I can definitely feel and see a tight community. If you didn't follow me already, go follow here: 2.19atmidnight

I picked up this lipstick a while back and what got my eye was the packaging. Just look how cute it is, come on, a heart shaped lipstick! I just haaaaad to get one. I wanted to get two colors but unfortunately the other one I want was sold out :(. But will I go back and purchase the other color? My answer is YES and you'll find soon enough why. 


Look and feel
This one is self explanatory, the heart shaped packaging. Not only is the outside heart shaped, the lipstick itself is also heart shaped! It looks cute but it looks and feels cheap because it's made of plastic. The whole lipstick is packaged in a salmon pink color with the cap spotting the Holika Holika logo. 



Results
It looks cute but is it worth your pennies? Uhm yeah it is! I was suprised by how smooth this glides on my lips, it's moisturizing and lastes for quite a long time without drying out your lips. The finish is not matte but more on the glossy side. What also got me was the pigmentation, 1 layer was enough for the full color to show. After eating and drinking I was quite surprised by how much color there still was on my lips. Because this lipstick is moisturizing it doesn't settle in my lip lines while the color stays even on my lips. The only downside I have is that the heart shape might be difficult for some to apply. I thought maybe this would be perfect for my cupids bow, but everyone has different lips. For me it was a bit harder at the sides to apply but it wasn't a mess.

I will definitely repurchase the other color as well! What do you guys think?

OOTD #10 || FIRST SPRING DAYS

maandag 8 april 2019


Winter is my least favorite season of the year, so when spring comes around the corner, I take out my DSLR for some awesome OOTD pics. These are less awesome because my mom took them so I had to crop a lot. She is not that handy with technology but thank god there were a few good pics (I think). This is more a feminine look which fits this season! My favorite part of this OOTD are definitely the hair pins, which are super trendy at the moment. What do you think of this trend, let me know!

OOTD #9 || Appreciating art

donderdag 20 september 2018



I always try to dress a bit more artsy and casual when I go to an art exhibition. Not only do I enjoy looking at art but I know that most art places have a great vibe and look to them. So I always try to snap a few pics when I'm there. In this case I visited M50 in Shanghai. If you ever get the chance to visit then it's a must! I recently wrote a blogpost about M50 so if you're interested then click here!

SHANGHAI || M50

dinsdag 18 september 2018



I have less than 2 months left in Shanghai and I'm feeling both sad and happy at the same time. Sad because I love this city so much and would love to stay longer, but also happy because I'm going to see my family, boyfriend and friends soon! Of course I'm still trying to explore the cool and hot spots of Shanghai in my free time and make the most of it. In this blog I'll show you around M50 which is a famous art district in Shanghai.

M50 is Shanghais own art district and its short for 50 Moganshan Road. The closest subway station is  Jiangning Road and it's a 10-15 min walk from exit 1. It's home to a lot of galleries and most of them are free of charge. Not only does it satisfy your artsy needs but it also boosts up your instagram. It's perfect for snapping some shots and you'll casually see some photoshoots going on at the location. If you're a lover of both art and photography then this is definitely a must go for you! *Keep in mind that all galleries close at 5pm

Here are some of the shots I took while I was there. If you have visited m50 let me know in the comment section below what your thoughts are about Shanghais art district :)









OOTD #8 || Blue for you

woensdag 14 februari 2018



Spring is coming and it's screaming color! Bold colors are rocked at fashion week and I'm seeing one-colored outfits everywhere, from an all-white outfit to an all red outfit. One thing they have in common is that they're not afraid to make a statement because you need some confidence for this trend. But don't be afraid my upcoming fashionista's, you can easily incorporate a few bold items in your wardrobe if you're not ready to go all out yet. 

Here I'm wearing a bright turquoise sweater that's long enough to cover my butt. I'm keeping it quite simple going for stockings and over the knee black boots, since the whole purpose of this look was comfy and chill but cute at the same time. If you don't want to attract to much attention than this is a great way to start with this trend. When you feel comfortable enough to style an outfit from head to toe in your favorite color than you go girl! The world is your runway. Colors to keep an eye on are red, mustard yellow or cobalt blue. Let me know in the comments what your favorite color is and if you would rock a whole outfit with this color :)

OOTD #7 || Hug me please

woensdag 17 januari 2018


My first post of 2018, can I get a big high five for that. My first blogspot was in 2015, I can't believe I've been blogging for 3 years now. I may not be consistent but this is definitely gonna be my blogging year. I've planned a lot of exciting stuff, including a whole new photography setup! But you'll see more of that very soon.. Let's start with this super cute and comfy OOTD. 


The Yesstyle Look #1 || White Turtleneck Sweater

woensdag 6 december 2017


I'm so excited to start a new series called The Yesstyle Look. The title explains enough but for people who don't know what Yesstyle is, it's an asian online shopping mall where they sell tons of clothes, shoes and accessories! I always order here and it's either a hit or miss, so I thought it would be super helpful if I could share my experiences and pictures of the pieces I buy. I'm not sponsored by Yesstyle to do this so all the pieces I got are bought with my own money.

Fine Winter Jewelry || AURATE

Winter is coming.... I can imagine how many bloggers have used that sentence to start a blogpost but I just couldn't stop myself for using a GoT reference because it fits this blogpost so well. But winter is around the corner and I didn't want this blogpost to be your regular fall to winter outfits so to spice things up I've decided to focus on a very important factor of every look, and that is: accessories! A lot of people (including myself) tend to forget about earrings or bracelets etc. But these pieces define the outfit, it makes it put together or add a certain bling or dazzle to your look. Now that winter is around the corner, a change in jewelry is much needed. So do you go for gold or silver? Can't choose between a bracelet or necklace, or maybe both? Here's how I transition from fall to winter using fine pieces from AUrate New York.

OOTD #6 || Starting a new series on Youtube

zaterdag 4 juni 2016

Guess what? I'm getting back on track with my Youtube account! Starting off with a new series called "Outfit Diaries" where I show my OOTD's in more detail. I decided to do this as an addition to my blogposts, so that my readers can see my outfits a bit better. Hope you guys like it and if you do, please subscribe to my Youtube Channel :) Here's the first part of the series. Sadly I didn't have enough photo's for this look to write a blogpost about, so forgive me!

OOTD #5 || Streetwear || Asics

zaterdag 21 mei 2016


I'm really getting into streetwear again, especially sneakers. My obsession for them has been revived and I can't wait to get my hands on a new pair! I'm currently eyeing the new Nike Air Max 90's Woven ones, but they are so damn expensive. But hey, they haven't released woman sizes yet so nothing to worry about right. 


I did get a new pair of sneakers tho. They are from Asics and it's the Gel Lyte 3 from the Maldives pack and oh my god the color way is just gorgeous. These are my very first pair of Asics but definitely not my last one. They're the perfect sneakers for spring and so comfortable to walk in. Here's how I style these Asics. 


Fashionable yet comfortable while working? Hell yeah!

Back at it again with the irregular posts. I know it's been a long ass time, and I sincerely missed blogging. I was just too busy with school, work and my internship that's coming up that I don't even have the time for a decent life. And add moving out to that list. Yes, that's right. Your gurl finally has her own place :). Anyways since I'm gonna be an intern at an auction house soon, I thought it would be a great idea to blog about some stylish work outfits. The outfits are all gonna be super comfortable so you'll probably wanna buy some items after reading this blogpost ;).
